1) Climate modeling can provide useful risk-based climate information for decision-making and adaptation planning, such as assessing impacts on water resources, agriculture, and infrastructure development.
2) Integrating global, regional, and local climate and weather models in a "seamless prediction" approach allows addressing climate issues across timescales from seasons to decades.
3) Seasonal forecasts of rainfall and river flows are helping to inform reservoir management and electricity production decisions in locations like Ghana's Lake Volta region.
